ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – Plans are now in the works to turn the historic Hastings library in St. Johns County into a technical college.
On Tuesday morning, the St. Johns County School Board discussed the multi-million dollar plan to convert the former home of Hastings High School into a new First Coast Technical College campus.

The project is expected to cost at least $20 million and could be paid for with a mix of funding from the district, a $10 million grant and money available from the American Rescue Plan.
The district had considered tearing down the nearly 100-year-old building but it eventually decided to renovate it instead.
Architects have been assessing the building and a more complete plan is expected to be released later this year.
